Here’s a picture of Per Robert Jentsch’s home-built Noux.

Steinar from Norway sent me some more pictures of his Noux boats. He has completed the first boat (see below), and is now building a second one.

Another view of the spray-painting setup.

The bulb is home-made, cast in a plaster mould.

Here is Steinar’s first boat, now completed and painted. I posted some building pictures earlier here and here.

Steinar asked if there is a Noux-logo. Sure! I just need to post it online in some common format. Stand by…

Steinar from Norway wrote to tell me about his Noux project. He started out building a planked wooden Noux (above), but it ended up too heavy, so instead a wooden plug was made (below)

Using this plug Steinar has now made a mould and moulded a few glassfiber Noux hulls. There’s no standard deck solution for the Noux yet so Steinar has invented his own, with a central round hatch for access to the electronics.

Boris from Switzerland sent me these two pictures of his Noux project which he has just started - thanks !

Pete Trimmer has been busy finishing his boat and sent me some pictures of his progress: “Well the FAT NOUX now looks more like a boat than a pin cushion”

The latest IOM building activity in Finland: a group of builders in Turku have moulded a hull mould from the original Noux plug + designed their own deck plug and made a deck mould.

Inspired by the drawings and design info available on my site, and by Michael Scharmers article on iom-nordic.org, Peter Trimmer (AUS) is putting together a wooden Noux. He sent me some pictures of his progress.

Here is the plug for the bulb turned out of wood. A mould around this from plaster will be made and the bulb will be cast in lead.

An updated layout plan for the Noux-2 with the winch placed under the foredeck and a circular theme for the hatches.
There’s also been a request for a 3D IGES model for the Noux-2 so here it is.

Update 2006 May 03: Hsinli Liu ponted out some problems with the previous IGES file. I have made a new one which should be at better resolution: Noux2_2006may03.IGS

Draft lines plan for the Noux.

The Noux is the latest Finnish IOM being built during 2002-2003. Construction plan showing a flat deck. A cockpit/fordeck design is being worked on…
